🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
There were five sleepyheadsAll tucked into their bedsWhile I sang a lullabyOne got dream dust in her eyeThere were four sleepyheadsPlaying possum with meMr. Sandman came byAnd then, there were threeMoonbeams play peek-a-booThree awake became twoAnd my song was almost doneWhen the land of Nod took oneKissed the last one goodnightThen, I heard not a peepThere were five sleepyheadsNow they’re all fast asleep
